Mavi Marmara Myths 1

Yesterday’s El País ran an op-ed piece by Juan Carlos Sanz about the fallout from the flotilla. It begins by quoting an (unnamed) eye witness on the Mavi Marmara who claimed that the Israeli commandos shouted “One Minute! One Minute!” as they opened fire.

This bizarre war cry is held to be a reference to the words spoken by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at Davos  in 2009 when he criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza. We surely don’t have long to wait for other eye witness accounts that talk of a elderly figure with a noticeable East European accent  and a Glock in his hand stalking the decks of the Mavi Marmara.
